The SHS Group offers the necessary steel and forging solutions.

For steel and forging solutions, German and international defence manufacturers rely on primary material and components from the three companies of the SHS Group (SHS - Stahl-Holding-Saar): Aktiengesellschaft der Dillinger Hüttenwerke, Saarstahl Aktiengesellschaft and Saarschmiede GmbH Freiformschmiede.
